Advice please *updated

Updated: k I need you guys help one more time I've sent two emails regarding when I should expect the feature, I've received no reply.. She seems to be pretty active on social media I'm trying to be patient but with the way everything is so mobile it's hard for me to believe she's just that busy not to reply with an at least "I'm workingon it". I don't want to lash out and set a negative tone for my business relationships but I'm pissed!

Hi, I hope everyone is well. I come upon a situation I'm not sure how to handle. See I reached out to a blogger recently under the agreement that I would create a custom piece for her, in exchange for her featuring me on her blog under gift ideas. We emailed back and fourth she was delighted and agreed. I showed her a proof of the finished product she again was happy and have me her address. I mailed the portrait out and tracked that it has been delivered Friday, not hearing from her i emailed her as to whether or she received it on Monday, she replied that she had. I reminded her that when she post the feature to let me know. She did not reply. How long should I wait to contact her again? She is a pretty well known blogger. And I was tempted to make it known that she if she renig's on the agreement. I'm not sure what to do I invested time and money and she agreed to do it. Has this happen to anyone else? How have you responded? I'm so frustrated!

It sounds to me like you got played. She got what she wanted out of you. I am terribly sorry. I don't ever do anything for anyone for free, I don't care what they promise. Chalk this one up to a lesson learned, hon. :(

It's really inconceivable that people like this exists.

Maybe you could send a third e mail mentioning that you would appreciate a more professional communication from such a well known blogger... Since there is no contract I don't think you can do anything else but at least this way you don't remain silent.
I'm one of those who believe that people who want to gain something and don't play fair, one way or another they loose something else.

I did! @georgia and of course she emailed she back not happy about, me insinuating her character was flawed. I simply replied well it's pretty clear you get your emails just fine since I received a response so quickly.

After tons of back and forth, I've learned that research is key... Don't just randomly pick someone off the internet who statiscally seems like a good match make sure they value what you do and that they understand that you both are embarking on a FAIR TRADE they should not feel entitled to treat you how ever they want because you reached out to them. With that I told her it was fine not do the feature at all. These are the casualties of business, you win some you lose some.
